Amazon's God of War TV Series could cast Dave Bautista as Kratos - Rumor
New announcement soon?
It appears that Amazon’s live-action God of War TV Series might have eyed the new Ghost of Sparta. After Ryan Hurst was forced to step away from playing Kratos due to injury, we might have a new frontrunner for this role.
According to Variety, Bautista might be in talks to play the role of Kratos in the live-action series. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Dave Bautista might play Kratos
According to the new reports, it appears that former WWE Star and Hollywood actor Bautista might portray Kratos in the upcoming TV Series.
Some fans have been voicing him due to his impressive, imposing physique and action-film experience
The 6-foot-4 actor is a likely fit for the Spartan warrior, as he’s played a number of roles in franchise movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, Dune and Knock at the Cabin.
If these negotiations are successful, the production may resume once again later this year.
Do remember that nothing is officially confirmed by Amazon or Sony yet!
Season 2 already in production
Despite the delay for Season 1, God of War TV Series Season 2 production is reportedly underway. The recent reports also suggested that Amazon might be looking to cast Atreus and Thrud in an older version for the 2nd season.
This suggests that we will get a time skip and the 2nd Season might adapt the God of War Ragnarök storyline.
Ryan Hurst injury
God of War TV Series completed the filming of four episodes before Ryan injury’s that brough the production to a halt.
Instead of waiting for him to recover, Amazon has decided to recast the role of Kratos. Now, they may need to reshoot the previously completed scenes with a new actor.
